Preparation for All Hallows' Eve - October 25th

The Daughter met on Saturday, October 25th to help prepare games and saint cookies for the St. Peter's Parish All Hallows' Eve Party. The girls really showed their creative skill, and the games and cookies look great (and the cookies taste great too!)
Hope to see everyone there on Thursday, October 30th 7-9 pm, for the party! Remember your saint costumes!!

October Meeting - Elections!

On October 15th 2008, we had the first ever Elections for the Daughters of St. Joseph executive. Congratulations to all! We look forward to a great year.
Father Victor came and shared some words of wisdom with the Daughters, and we began making preparations for the All Hallows' Eve Party.

Stay tuned for more pictures!

September Meeting

September 29th is the Feast of the Canadian Martyrs in Canada. These brave men gave their live to bring the Catholic Faith to the New World. They are an example to us - we see in them that no matter what, we should not be afraid to stand up for our Faith. After hearing a talk about these martyrs, the Daughters showed, with skits, ways that they can remain strong in the Faith in different circumstances. The skits were great! Father Victor watched some of the skits with us, and stayed afterwards to hear confessions.

July 2008

This month, the meeting was about Jesus, Our Eucharistic King. We heard about the importance of Eucharistic Adoration, and about Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. The Blessed Sacrament Game, the video "First Communion" and Eucharistic Apostles cheers help round out the evening.

For our outing this month, we went to L'Arche Cape Breton in Wycocomagh (and for ice cream!)

Sorry...no pictures this month. The camera took a trip to Australia with Sister Bernadette for World Youth Day!

June 2008 Meeting - The Sacred Heart of Jesus

The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
We remembered Jesus' great love for us all by writing a poem and song about the Sacred Heart, and by holding a special prayer service in honor of the Sacred Heart.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

May 31st 2008 - Trip to Our Lady of Grace Monastery

The Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Mary found the Daughters on their way to visit Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Monastery, NS. We prayed in the church, lit candles for all our prayer intentions,visited with the Sisters at the monastery, walked to the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace and the Holy Spring, played games, met some four-legged friends and enjoyed a delicious lunch of barbequed hamburgers. A great time was had by all!

May Meeting

The topic for this month was "The Power of the Holy Rosary" - talks, videos and activities helped us to learn more about this beautiful - and powerful - prayer. We ended the evening by praying the Rosary, using reflections the Daughters wrote to help us meditate on the mysteries. They were beautiful!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

April 2008

We had a great month in April, starting off with going to Antigonish to see "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" at the movie theatre. Long live killer cheese curls!!!!! Great time... thank you to all our wonderful parents who helped drive and everyone who helped make this possible. The pizza was wonderful as well:) Father Victor received our new members at Sunday morning Mass to the great joy of all, and as usual, the meeting was fun and we all learned a lot. Cheerio!
